Críticas

'A truly interdisciplinary handbook for those involved in the field of child law. It is easy to use whilst not sacrificing detail. The extensive notes demonstrate that this is a handbook underpinned by up to date and wide-ranging research, guidance and case law. Importantly, Human Rights and Diversity issues run as a theme throughout, rather than being tacked on. I can envisage that this would be one of those rare purchases - a book that stays on your desk and in your bag/briefcase rather than on the shelf.' William Simmonds, Senior Lawyer, CAFCASS 'This book will soon become an essential reference for all family lawyers and other non-legal professionals working in the family justice system. This book provides the answers or, if not, the location for the answers to most of the problems which arise so regularly.' New Law Journal, 14 April 2006 'This book will provide even busy social workers with reference material that they will find invaluable in their everyday working lives. Social work to me is also about advising people on the choices they have. This book explains how to empower oneself as a professional to seek it out on the client's behalf.' Professional Social Work, May 2006

Reseña del editor

The interdisciplinary approach to child law is the cornerstone of good practice and decision making. It is also increasingly important in the wake of the Children Act 2004, which emphasises comprehensive safeguarding and integrated services. But finding the requisite sources of information can be a daunting process for the busy practitioner. Edited by Liz Goldthorpe, Chair of the Association of Lawyers for Children, and with contributions from leading practitioners in various specialist fields, this reader friendly volume brings together for the first time the key sources of good practice for all those involved in children's cases. Each chapter directs the reader to key themes and issues within specialist areas of practice, with a list of material essential to each subject area and references to further reading. This indispensable guide is ideal for practitioners at all levels, helping to improve skills, assist in critically evaluating the work of others in safeguarding children and providing a sound foundation for effective case preparation, representation, and presentation of cases in court.
